Engineering Academy

About this course

The Engineering Academy at the University of Strathclyde is a pioneering alternative route into university and a career in engineering. Rather than the standard A-level or Higher entry route, the Academy offers a two-year, full-time programme that begins with an enhanced HNC in the first year, providing a thorough practical and technical grounding, followed by direct transfer into the second year of one of Strathclyde's engineering degrees. This means you achieve a full engineering degree qualification while following a distinctive pathway that combines vocational rigour with academic progression. The first year is designed to give you the same quality of engineering foundation that Strathclyde's degree programmes build on, with particular attention to the practical and applied dimensions of engineering alongside the underlying mathematics and science. You will develop technical skills
